Paddington Sports Club: Planning Application

Last week, the application to cover two tennis courts at Paddington Sports Club came in front of Westminster Council's planning committee, with a number of local residents listening in the audience.

As local Councillors, we provided our own comments directly to the committee - saying that we couldn't support the application because of the potential effect on the quality of life of local residents.

The committee made their decision on the evening and agreed with our (and many local resident's) comments - that the plan shouldn't go ahead. Although they were keen to promote sport and sport facilities throughout Westminster they agreed that it shouldn't come at the expense of local residential amenity.

Thanks to all local residents who have been involved in the process over the last couple of months.
